Hi Zak,
There are only place getter trophies, as it is a charity event and very cheap to enter.
We would have to increase the entry fee if we were to have participation medallions.
In saying that we are waiting for a major sponsor to respond.
We do have singlets and tshirts available at a very reasonable price and free if you enter the 15 or half marathon.
Hope to see you there on Sunday March 5th.
